The author shares her educational experiences as a first-generation, working-class, place-bound female. After graduating from a small, inner-city high school, she learns how to adapt to an elite academic context. Eventually, she pursues a doctorate, teaches in three prisons, and becomes a full professor. Her memoir concludes with helpful information about emotion and feeling like an imposter among academics.
